I think it’s safe to say we’re all feeling a little stressed out. There’s a lot going on, always! And sometimes it feels like too much. Curious as to what exactly was going on in my body, I dove deeper into the science of stress – and what I found was really interesting. My internet rabbit hole also led me to a supplement that actually gets to the root cause to offer relief when you need it most (aka all day long!). Here, dive in – and chill out.
I’ve been taking Ritual's Stress Relief for about a month, and my stress levels have gone from 11 hours 30 minutes down to just one hour a day since I started taking Stress. It really helps to manage my stress level and provide a sense of calm throughout my busy day. At around the ten day mark, I noticed that my mood just felt lighter. It’s usually hard to trace these things, but I’m pretty sure I can attribute my calmer-about-work attitude and slower-to-frustration demeanor at least in some part to this capsule. Here's how it works...
While stress is natural (yay, you’re normal!), managing it effectively is key to well-being. When we encounter stress, our body's response involves various hormonal and physiological changes. The brain signals the release of hormones like adrenaline and cortisol, preparing us to handle whatever stressful situation presents itself.
Often called the stress hormone, cortisol plays a crucial role in how our bodies respond to stress. Normally, cortisol levels follow a daily rhythm, peaking in the morning and declining at night (this pattern helps us wake up and wind down). However, when stress is constant, cortisol levels remain elevated, disrupting this natural cycle and causing fatigue, anxiety, and other health issues. Maintaining balanced cortisol levels is essential for overall health and stress management.
Ritual’s Stress Relief supplement is designed to support your body's normal cortisol response all day thanks to a 3-in-1 formula that uses BioSeriesTM technology to provide staggered ingredient release. Stress Relief is crafted with three key ingredients that offer both immediate and extended stress support: Shoden® Ashwagandha helps maintain normal cortisol levels; Suntheanine® L-Theanine offers quick, non-drowsy stress relief; Affron® Saffron promotes a positive mood.* It's a super smart supplement, and it works!
